  1. The Sorenson trailer in Barnstormers advertises '98+' inches inside width at the rear door. He has an option that replaces the garage door style rear ramp cables on each side with a torsion bar support at the bottom hinge of the ramp. I think it's called an 'infinite hinge'.


  2. Thanks all for responding. I think the picture that 'Boat' posted shows what Ed says about increasing the inside width by using a fold down back door. This is the arrangement Mr Sorenson uses per his Barnstormers ad and links. And it does have a people door to get access to the front of the trailer without having to crawl under the plane!


  3. Thank you both for responding! I have the plane hangered right now. (It's at Springs East just east of COS. And will be moving it to Boulder. ). The enclosed trailer is for 'hangering' to get costs down. So it'll be in and out weekly. (Also right now hanger space is scarce around the Denver area.)

    It is widest at the wing tips when folded. I've looked at some standard trailers and the plane won't fit in width wise. The trailer Mr. Sorenson is fabricating is 102" on the outside and 98" opening width which gives me about 1-1/2" space on both sides at the tips. So it looks like the trailer will work fine. I thought it wise to see if anyone has bought from him prior to doing the purchase. Scott


  4. Does anyone have experience with trailers made by Mark Sorenson in Georgia? They are advertised in Barnstormers under 'custom aircraft trailers'. I'm considering buying one and was hoping I could get a good reference regarding materials and construction quality. Thanks ahead of time.
